Biggest Palworld v0.7 December 17 Update Changes
Palworld’s Home Sweet Home update is highlighted by major improvements to base building, providing 48 new building pieces, including some triangular-shaped additions, and adds the ability to tweak the color of some buildings and foundations.
The update also introduces the second collab in Palworld, bringing ULTRAKILL assets into the fray in the form of new armor sets, weapons, and a unique Coin Toss mechanic.
